The two following have been introduced
by Representative McMaster, of
Charleston. Both are of considerable
importance:
DISCHARGE OF EMPLOYEES.
Section 1. In all manufactories,
workshops, mines or other industrial
enterprises in this state where the employees
are not engaged under contract
for a specified time, no employee shall
be discharged by his or her employer,

two weeks' notice of the same in writing,
except for cause.
Sec. 2. Any owner, manager, overseer
or foreman of any manufactory,
workshop, mine or other Industrial enterprise
in this state, who shall dlscnarge

conviction shall be fined not more than
$50 or imprisoned not more than 30

<
THE MAIL SERVICE. \
The Enquirer is in receipt of occa- 1
sional complaints from postal patrons ]
* along star routes of failure to receive ]
their mail properly, and we are fre- <
quently asked as to the steps that 1
should be taken to remedy such omis- ;
sions.
The most frequent complaint is about ;
the failure of the riders to deposit mail <
in boxes. Sometimes there are other i
troubles; but this one item gives the i
? average patron of the postal service
more concern than any other one thing.
The Enquirer is very much interested
in these complaints, especially in
so far as they come from its patrons.
This office makes it a rule to do any '
and everything it can to see that its i
patrons get the best of everything, and
all that they are entitled to, so far as
lies in its power. Even if a complaint
be of no direct concern of ours, we try >
to see that the right thing is done.
But it is not in the power of The
Enquirer to do any more along this
line than any individual citizen can do.
During a long experience with the postal
service we have learned that this
department of the government is probably
one of the most efficient on earth.
There are many people who have an
idea that it is entirely political, or
more properly speaking, entirely governed
by a "pull." While it is true
that there is more or less politics in
some branches of the department, and
many positions are obtained by political
influence, it is also true that
there is less of this kind of thing in the
postal service than in any other service
under the government.
There are in the general offices at
Washington, and in the various subdivisions
of the service, men who have
been at the business half a lifetime;
men who have the capacity and energy
to run successfully the largest private '
enterprises in the country; men who
are as proud of the efficiency and perfection
of their work as if the depart-\
ment belonged to them as individuals-But
very few of these men assume
that they are indispensable to the ser- 1
vice, and that the public is an unbearable
nuisance. Most of them are as
anxious to please and satisfy the humblest
patron of the department, the extent
of whose mail may be one printed
circular once a year, as they are to
please and satisfy a gigantic corporation
that spends thousands of dollars a
year on postage stamps.
Any letter relating to the most triv
ial matter connected with the postal
service, addressed to any of the heads
of departments in Washington, or to
any division superintendent of the railroad
postal service, or to a chief clerk,
receives as prompt attention as an order
to a dry goods house, accompanied
by the cash. Colonel L. M. Terrell, superintendent
of the Fourth division,
railway postal service, with headquarters
at Atlanta, for instance, would,
upon complaint, send Chief Clerk
Wodgett here to investigate the disappearance
of a patent medicine circular
between Yorkville and Tirzali, and
Chief Blodgett would give the matter
as careful and earnest attention as if
the missing article were a registered
letter, alleged to contain hundreds of
dollars.
And so in everything connected with
the department. The officials invite
criticism and complaint. They don't
want any foolishness. They require
that complaint be based upon reasonable
grounds. Nothing pleases them
better than to catch up with a negligent
employe. They want all employes
to be efficient: but if they are not efficient
they want to know it, and they
will thank the people who will send
them the information.
In view of this state of affairs, although
those connected with the business
office of The Enquirer are glad
to be of assistance in straightening
things out, it is not necessary that
complaints should be brought here. If
the complaint be against the star route
contractor, or a fourth class pastmaser,
send it to the postmaster of the office
from which the route is supplied,
or to tne second assistant postmaster
general. If the complaint be against
the postmaster of a presidential of
flee, send it to the first assistant postmaster
general, at Washington. Under
any and all circumstances let the complaint
be in writing. Unless it be in
writing, whether to the first assistant
postmaster general or to the local postmaster,
it is not worth the breath required
for its utterance.
LOCAL LACONICS. '

Fort Mill Times: The Yorkville correspondent
of The News and Courier
remarks that "the^ct of the house of
representatives in extending the time
for the payment of taxes is not indorsed
by anybody in this county, so
far as my information goes." Well,
your information doesn't go very far,
Mr. Ccrrespondent. Fof-t Mill township

county, and practically every^idy over
here endorses "the action of Trie house

Narrow Gauge people have cancelled

the C. & N.-W. success; but, if there
is not some more important railroad
move on their part the people will grow
tired of waiting. We want to see the
Southern make a link between here j

Fort Mill's Municipal Election.
Times, January 16: The municipal '
jlection held in Fort Mill Monday for 1
in intendant and four wardens to serve '
Juring the year, passed off quietly, 1
:hough not without Interest. The opposing
candidates for intendant were '
Messrs. J. W. McElhaney and T. G. 1
r*ulp, and the gentlemen who were vo- '
ted for for wardens were Dr. T. S. (
Kirkpatrlck and Messrs. J. M. Spratt,
A.. A. Young, Ira G. Smythe, W. B. ]
Meacham and J. W. Ardrey. The
count of the ballots disclosed the elec- j
tion of Mr. McElhaney, he having re- 1
ceived 28 votes to 18 for Mr. Culp, and
Dr. Kirkpatrlck, and Messrs. Spratt, !
Young and Smythe. The new council
was sworn in yesterday afternoon and ,
Immediately held a meeting, at which ]
Mr. Smythe was elected town treasurer.
The election, by the council, of a chief
of police was awaited with considerable
interest and general satisfaction
was expressed when it became known '
that Mr. H. C. Culp was the lucky man.
Tlie Cotton Situation.
In their letter of Thursday night,
Messrs. Hubbard Bros., described the
cotton situation on the New York exchange
as follows: "Liverpool surprised
every one by declining on the publication
of Neill's estimate, which he reiterates,
of the crop. Our market felt
sure from the starting out of Liverpool
yesterday, that they would advance
further and the strength at the
close last evening was due to the covering
of a large line of short cotton on
that theory. Outside operators, in view
of the increasing congestion of goods,
are gradually selling out their holdings.
In some few instances they sell short,
though not generally. The comment
that holds an advance of nearly 100 per
cent, as compared with two years ago
is more frequently heard than the argument
of supply. On the other hand,
we will soon run against the heavy
movement of last February, which is a
strong: factor for the maintainance of
present prices. The South showed little
weakness, quotations being firmly
held in the interior."
{>rittli uf liev. D. llttrriHon.
Itev. Douglass Harrison, whose critical
illness was mentioned in the last issue
of The Enquirer, died at his home
in Yorkville on last Thursday morning
at S.17 o'clock. Mr. Harrison was a
native of Fairfield county; but came to
York when still a young man, and
spent most of his life in this county.
He belonged to the Presbyterian ministry,
and was a member of Bethel
presbytery. He spent much of his time
at teaching school in various parts of
the county, and served as school commissioner
of the county; but during
the past ten or twelve years has been
able to do but little work of any kind
on account of poor health. He had no
organic trouble, so far as could be ascertained,
his death being due to a
general breaking down, incident to old
age. His 80th birthday would have occurred
during the present month. The
funeral took place from the Presbyterian
church yesterday afternoon at 3.30
o'clock, the services being conducted
by Rev. W. G. Neville. Mr. Harrison
leaves a widow and two children?Mrs.
Fred Nims, of Fort Mill, and Mr. W.
.. . Harrison, cashier of the Loan and
Savings bank, of Yorkville.
Fort Mill 1m Templed.
Times, January 16: The unusually
large amount of whisky which is being
shipped to Fort Mill and the weekly
visits to the town of soliciting agents
of North Carolina liquor houses, as
well as the knowledge that a considerable
part of the whisky shipped here
is sold by blind tigers, has caused a
number of citizens to express the belief
that it would be as well for Fort
Mill to have a dispensary. These citizens
contend that a large amount of
money is annually sent to North Carolina
and other states for whisky and
that not a cent of revenue is derived
therefrom by the town. The dispensary,
it is also contended, would draw a
great deal of trade to Fort Mill which
now goes elsewhere, that there would
be very little more whisky sold,' and
that the treasury of the town wouli
be greatly benefitted, which would
mean better streets and a public
school of more value. These are the
chief arguments of those who believe a
dispensary ought to be established in
Fort Mill. But of course there is another
horn to the dilemma. There is
little doubt that at least double the
amount of whiskey would be sold from
a dispensary than is shipped to Fort
Mill, and the difficulty of obtaining it,
slight as it is, would be entirely re
moved.
|)if>penRMry For Hock Hill.
The movement looking to the estab- i
lishment of a dispensary in Hock Hill i
seems to be pretty well organized. The
following, purporting to be-a dispatch
from Rutherfordton, N. C., was pub- <
lished in the Spartanburg Herald of ,
Thursday morning. As to whether the
alleged facts are as stated we have no
information; but the evident object of
the publication is to show that Rock
Hill needs a dispensary: "The amount
of whisky shipped into the town of !
Rock Hill, S. C., from North Carolina, 1
by express, from December 22 to the
end of the month, amounted to 3211
gallons?52 2-gallon packages, 239 1gallon
packages and 59 half gallon
packages. The charges on this amount
of whiskey amounted to about J104.65! \
and the cost, at an average price of 1
$2.50 per gallon, $803. This amount was
independent of the liquor in case shipped
by freight, the quantity perhaps
being as great as that received by express,
and it is also independent of the
large amounts smuggled in by wagons 1
for the blind tiger. One thousand and
five hundred dollars is not an exaggerated
estimate of the cost of whiskies
taken into that town by train and otherwise
during the eight days ending j
December-^" InB'eed.'ir has Jjeen esti- i
mated" that the average amount- of
whisky taken into that city is fully
150 gallons per week or about 7,500 gallons
per year. This whisky is consigned
to Individuals, but much of it is for |
blind tigers. The shipments are entire
ly from this state, and the dealers in
this state receive the revenue, which
must amount to fully $18,000, furnish
Ing a profit of $6,000 annually. There is
no dispensary or barrooms in the town i
of Rock Hill, S. C." ]

Smallpox In GafTney.
The State, Friday: The governor
yesterday received a telegram from Mr.

two suspcious cases in that town pronounced
by local physicians to be
smallpox, and asking for an expert.
The request was sent forthwith to Dr.
Evans. The governor has also had

of Richland: 'Sec. 1. That the
justices of the supreme court, and each
of the circuit judges, upon application
for their salaries, be and are hereby required
to file with the comptroller general
affidavits that they have filed their
decisions within the time limited and
prescribed by section 17, article 5, of
the constitution of the state of South
Carolina. Sec. 2. That the comptroller
general of the state be and he is hereby
prohibited from issuing to said Justices
and judges his warrants for their

filed in the office of said comptroller
general by said justices and judges."
Tulbert and Thurmond.
Edgefield correspondence News and
Courier: Although the general election
is just over and some who were fortunate
enough to be elected have not yet
been officially installed in office, yet
some public men are already beginning
to look to their political fortunes two
years hence. It is authoritatively reported
that Congressman W. J. Talbert
wi.l not stand for re-election, but will
run for governor, and that Solicitor J.
William Thurmond will try to succeed
Mr. Talbert. This report comes direct
from these gentlemen and there seems
to be no doubt that this is their avowed
Intention. Both of the county papers
make the announcement and set forth
the eminent qualifications of each for
the positions to which they will aspire.
It is very early to make prognostications,
but if these gentlemen run, and
there seems to be no doubt that they
will, they will be hard to beat.

This lot of mules is one of the BEST

know, is that we bought this lot of
mules to SELL?not to fatten. We are
not in the feeding business. This
, means that we will make the prices
on all mules low enough to make them
go without whipping. We mean to
1 sell them, and sell them quick, and get
some more. If you haven't bought yet
come in and see our supply, and we
will certainly make the prices and
terms to suit. Every Mule will be sold
under our POSITIVE GUARANTEE to

SECONDS
OF TIME
DO not amount to much ordinarily;
but If your watch is losing a few
seconds a day or gaining a few seconds
a day, It means a great deal of
annoyance. There is hardly any excuse
for a watch doing either of these
things, and if you will leave your watch
with me for a few days I will put it in
such good condition that you will have
no more trouble with your chronometer.
All of my watch repairing, cleaning,
etc., Is guaranteed to give you
satisfaction, and as my reputation for
doing good work is at stake on every
job I do, I think you can safely depend
on what I promise you. If your watch
loses or gains In time bring it to me
and have it put in condition. My
prices will be found to be entirely satisfactory.

WE ARE IN
THE PUSH.
WE desire to call the attention of
the farmers to the fact that we
will be in Dosition to supply their needs
for Fertilizers this season. We have
made contracts with one of the oldest,
best and most reliable concerns in the '
business for what goods we are likely
to need. We hope all who expect to
buy either Ammoniated Goods, Acid,
Cotton Seed Meal, or Kainit, will see us
before closipg a contract, and especially
do we desire to figure with those who
desire as much as a carload. We will
try to make as close prices as anybody
on the same class of goods, either in
carload lots or by the single ton.
